Snapchat adds a dark mode on Android. Catch is, you have to pay for Snapchat+ to enable it.

Naming and shaming all "recurring spending models" where a one-time fee (or none at all) would be appropriate and logical.
Expect use of strong language.
Follow the basic rules of lemmy.world and common sense, and try to have fun if possible.
No flamewars or attacking other users, unless they're spineless corporate shills.
Note that not all subscriptions are awful. Supporting your favorite ~~camgirl~~ creator or Lemmy server on Patreon is fine. An airbag with subscription is irl Idiocracy-level dystopian bullshit.
New community rule: Shilling for cunty corporations, their subscriptions and other anti-customer practices may result in a 1-day ban. It's so you can think about what it's like when someone can randomly decide what you can and can't use, based on some arbitrary rules. Oh what, you didn't read this fine print? You should read what you're agreeing to.

Snapchat is one of the most ass apps there ever was. Blows my mind people still use it.
I downloaded it when I downloaded tinder. To this day I still use it to message my girlfriend. It's honestly the only way to super easily share photos/videos of something random.
Even with apps like Telegram, that have a built in camera function, it's still too many button clicks. Snapchat is 3. It opens to the photo view, so you tap the shutter button > select friends > send.
With something like Telegram, once you open the app you need to tap on the conversation > photo button > camera view > shutter button > send
Even though it's just 1 more button, it's buried, and is overall slower and more cumbersome.
Not to mention no one wants their chat app feeds to be filled with a ton of random shit, or you may send something a tad embarrassing that you don't want people to have a perfect history to look back on. YEs, screenshots exist, but that's something you have to actively partake in. My girlfriend isn't screenshotting my stupid selfies, but if I sent them through a different app she would have all the photos with no required input from her.
EDIT: also snapchat just makes a distinct noise. Yes, I could change the notification sound for Telegram, but then every message that came in would make some annoying sound. Snapchat makes a very distinct sound, so I don't miss the messages, but also "batches" them, so if someone is typing out a long message in chunks, my phone isn't just constantly beeping with every message sent.
